I make a similar cookie I call Teddy Bear Noses. You make a peanut butter cookie dough, place the kiss in the centre, and then gather the dough up and around the kiss until just the tip shows -- like the tip of a teddy's nose! They're a Xmas favorite of ours.
ReplyDeleteMy wife was just talking about making these. I have never heard of white chocolate peanut butter, but I will give it a try.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
These are my absolute favorites. I've actually written an article about these and using food coloring for the dough to change their color for the various holidays. Even for christmas, you can do red and green cookies :)
